The breaks tab of the table settings dialog allows you to set various options for table breaks.
The calculation alignment section of the tab allows you to format the calculations in the table as follows:
One tab for each calculation: Generate a table for each selected calculation. For example, one page for the counts, a second page for the percentages.
Vertically: Display calculations one above the other.
Horizontally: Display calculations beside each other.
The breaks section of the tab allows you to specify where your tables break in relation to the data (for example, whether you have a separate tab for each question on a row), as follows:
One tab for every question in row: One table will be generated for each question on a row. Note: if this option is not selected when all your questions are displayed in the table rows, and you also request that a total row is displayed, the total given for the tab will be the bases for every question in the tab ORd together. In other words, the displayed total will include every respondent who answered at least one of the questions.
One tab for every question in column: One table will be generated for each column question.
One tab for every response in edge: One table will be generated for each response in an edge.
Break rows first: Where there are several row and column questions, this option indicates the priority for splitting the rows.For example, if this option was selected, the layout might be as follows:
Row: Q1 X Column: Sex
Row: Q2 X Column: Sex
Row: Q1 X Column: Age
Row: Q2 X Column: Age
If this option was not selected, the same tables would appear as follows:
Row: Q1 X Column: Sex
Row: Q1 X Column: Age
Row: Q2 X Column: Sex
Row: Q2 X Column: Age
Nest edges: If selected, header labels will be nested where appropriate. This allows you to have more than three crossed variables in your tables, without the need to use scripts, crossed calculated variables or sub-populations to accommodate them.
Group superposable question in rows: If this option is not selected, when there is one question per table in a row, superposable questions will not be broken.
Run broken tabs independently: Each table is treated as if a separate question (so the base is calculated only for the responses in the table).
Break according to page layout: If you choose to break according to page layout, the table breaks will occur in accordance with the page formatting parameters and cell size.
Copy total rows when breaking up: The total row will be repeated on each page if the table is split across multiple pages.
Copy total columns when breaking up: The total column will be repeated on each page if the table is split across multiple pages.
Transpose table: Transpose the table: the questions in rows will be displayed in columns and the questions in columns will be displayed in rows. The letters (for significance tests) to identify the rows will be displayed at the beginning of each row.
Override sub-populations instead of intersecting them:
If this option is selected, and a sub-population is over-ridden on a question, response or calculation, the settings in the general tab for sub-population will actually be over-ridden. For example, an individual question might run on "all interviews", while the general tab might define the sub-population as "males".
If this option is not selected, and a sub-population is over-ridden on a question, response or calculation, they will be intersected instead of over-ridden. Example:
If a given question (X) in rows is assigned the "Males" sub-population, and if a column question (Y) is assigned the "Young" sub-population:
=> if the check-box is set, the cross tab X x Y will be done on Young
=> if the check-box is not set, the cross tab X x Y will be done on the intersection of "Males" and "Young" (i.e. "Young males").
Export tables using tabs: When exporting to Word, tab characters will be used to lay out the tables. If this option is not selected, Word tables will be used.
Page breaks: When exporting to Word, this option controls where page breaks will be inserted in the Word document:
Never: page breaks will not be inserted;
After each tab definition: page breaks will be inserted after each tab definition.
After each tab: page breaks will be inserted between separate tables (i.e. where table breaks occur).
